Default Do I have a IM or TB Leak somewhere??

Using the DIY boost leak tester as pictured below - I basically hook up the leak tester to my turbo charge pipe, right after the turbo and for some reason the little gauge on the compressor will not go more than 5 psi. I am not sure if there is a leak or if it is because I am using a kinda small 12v tire inflator type compressor (cannot "flow" enough air perhaps?)...

Any suggestions?

Used a bigger compressor with 20 psi steady and intake plenum gasket was the culprit also my MBC for some odd reason wow ... Glad I found it before hittin the dyno and having my tuner wonder why the turbo was not making more than a few psi lol.
